You mentioned in a side conversation that you had heard that there was a
good reason why we packaged many driver.conf files as non-editable but
still occasionally told people to edit them anyway.
If at all possible it would be very helpful to chase down the origin of
that folklore, as what I'm hearing about likely changes coming in the
packaging/patching/upgrade space suggests that the ground underneath
that folklore is about to shift fairly dramatically.
